Description
English: Turing in slate at Bletchley Park. People who knew him say this takes their breath away. Unfortunately, you can't see his coffee cup under his desk.
Nederlands: Het 1,5 ton wegend standbeeld van Alan Turing, gemaakt door Stephen Kettle in opdracht van de Amerikaanse miljardair Sidney Frank. Het standbeeld is opgetrokken uit ongeveer een half miljoen stukjes leistein uit Wales.
Deutsch: Schieferstatue des Computerpioniers und Kryptologen Alan Turing in Bletchley Park. Menschen, die Turing gekannt haben, sollen die 1,5 Tonnen schwere Statue als "atemberaubend ähnlich" beschrieben haben. Turing beging 1954 wahrscheinlich Suizid, nachdem er wegen seiner Homosexualität verfolgt und mit weiblichen Hormonen zwangsbehandelt worden war. Er gilt als einer der Wegbereiter des Computerzeitalters, seine Entschlüsselungsarbeiten an deutschen Militärcodes der Verschlüsselungsmaschine "Enigma" (an der er auf dem Bild sitzt) in Bletchley Park beeinflussten den Verlauf des Zweiten Weltkriegs.
